The wait is over!

 
Every Summer, the urchins anticipate this moment.  Orange marrow season.
It was late this year, due to the extremely cold Spring, and subsequent late planting of the seeds.
A heirloom vegetable, (squash), passed down from each generation to the next.  
 Super easy to prepare, and cook.  Cut in half.  
 
Scoop out the seeds. 
 Place in a pot, and put in about 1 1/2 to 2 cms of water.  Steam for about 10 minutes, until soft (check with a knife).
The best part, fill with butter (and Mama's Tomato Relish if there is any left), and eat with a teaspoon.
Another tradition for the next generation.
